>> mostly because every time this topic comes up people simply respond "No" without explaining why. Since I was one of the first to respond with a bare "no," let me explain why. Dan didn't seed the discussion in any way. He asked a yes or no question - "is it time to reconsider a jobs only list." Without any apparent reason WHY we should reconsider the topic, I felt the obvious answer was "No." I also, at the time, didn't feel the need to elaborate on my answer. I honestly don't care if we keep the job postings on this list or create a new list. I'm just not interested in the discussion. If Ed, or anyone else, wants a new list, just do it and tell us about it. It really doesn't matter either way. /dev On Tue, May 6, 2014 at 4:33 PM, Richard Sarvas <[log in to unmask] > wrote: > Actually, I am not complaining.
